6.11 Granular Play Modes
Granular instruments can be created in Tracker+. As with all Tracker+
instruments, Granular synth uses a sample as its core sound source.
Granular synthesis is ideal for glitchy soundscapes and textural sounds.
What is Granular Synthesis?
Granular synthesis breaks a sample down into tiny slices, lets describe this
as microscopic level. These narrow slices are generally less than 1 second
but often much shorter in duration and are called grains. Sound is
generated in a granular synthesizer by looping playback around a grain. It
is common practice to use modulation to bring a granular synth to life
especially using grain position. Granular synths can still use the same
features as in subtractive synthesis including lter and envelopes.
Modulating grain position is at the heart of the Tracker+ implementation of
granular synthesis where an LFO or envelope can be used. The position
can be set manually within its parameters as can length with a range up to
1000ms. Also shape and loop direction of playback parameters can also be
adjusted manually in the Granular synth playback mode.
